After Drake made it to the 7th floor, what he saw made him shudder.
He finally found his sister but the situation was rather pressing
Drake saw his sister was about to be assaulted by a guy, right in front of his eyes!
His mind works overdrive as he suppressed his instinct to rush between the crowd of zombies.
He looked at his weapon, the butcher knife. But then he remembered that he also had a gun he looted from the guard.
It is in the holster on the left side of his belt.
Drake freed himself on his butcher knife with his hands wrapped in gauze with it.
With his strength, he easily broke the gauze binding.
He put his butcher knife on the floor and pulled the gun on its holster.
Drake pointed his gun carefully at the guy who was pinning down his sister.
He held his breath as his eyes on the front and rear sight, aligning the muzzle of the pistol on the right shoulder of the man. His hands were steady as he aimed.
No, he's not being merciful and doesn't want to put a bullet through that guy's head.
Killing that guy like this would be too lenient for him.
Besides dying painlessly, now what? Drake thinks that he would only do that guy a favor if he killed that guy instantly and painlessly.
He needs to suffer some inhumane torture first, before descending to greet Yama in hell.
Drake's mind was full of murderous thoughts right now.
He doesn't mind even if everyone bullies him like what he always went through all his life. But touching his sister was another story. He was even willing to fight demons and gods, and pay a hundredth fold whoever makes his sister suffer.
Drake was willing to go at any length just for his sister, who was his everything.
Myriads of thought flashing through Drake's mind as he pulled the trigger.
Bang!*
Loud sound rang simultaneously as he pulled the trigger.
It accurately hit on the guy's right shoulder as he paused on whatever he was about to do. The guy's right hand goes limping as it hangs down powerlessly.
The last thing Drake saw was his sister struggling, as she managed to get away from the guy.
The crowd of Zombies stopped at their tracks and turned their attention to Drake.
The group's distance from zombies was over 20 meters, that's why zombies can't detect them with their skill and can only rely on their smell and hearing.
After Drake made the shot, adding the fact of him being so close to these zombies, it goes naturally for the zombies to come after Drake.
The horde now turns towards him. The first zombie who reached him was kicked by Drake on the stomach as it got pushed back, bumping the other zombies on its back.
Drake put the gun back on its holster as he picked up his butcher knife.
Drake now didn't actually need to wrap over a gauze the butcher knife on his hand anymore.
Because of the increased stat on strength, his grip was now so strong that he didn't think it's still possible for the butcher knife to slip on his hand. Unless his stamina were critically low.
Drake cut zombies after zombies as he squarely hit them on their head or neck. With his strength, he only needs to deal a single blow on every zombie.
Drake keeps on retreating backward to the stairs down to the 6th floor.
As he wants to lead the zombies further away from his sister.
While doing so, He Inadvertently saved all the survivors on the 7th floor.
Drake successfully leads the zombies completely on the 6th floor.
Now that he confirmed that his sister is at least alive and temporarily safe.
The burden on his mind lessened.
Drake is eager to finish off these zombies so that he can reunite with his sister.
With slight concern that those guys might do something again to his sister, Drake rampages on the 6th floor together with the help of the little dragon.
The duo killed zombies after zombies as if they were cutting cabbage.
With Betelgeuse flying while clawing every zombie it came across as if mowing a grass, the numbers of zombies was continuously dwindling.
In truth, 60% of the zombies were killed off by the little dragon.
In those times it didn't actively help Drake as it can sense that Drake wanted to kill the zombies himself to gain experience for leveling up.
That's why it took two hours for Drake to finish off more than four hundred zombies.
It's not as if Drake didn't want to hurry up on the 7th floor where the noise was coming from. But Drake was absorbed in fighting at those moments, that's why the dominating thoughts on Drake's mind was to only kill those zombies.
Betelgeuse, who was only an hour old, although smart, can only understand what's in the present and can't see the bigger picture of the situation.
That's why it only does what the most dominating thoughts of Drake at the moment, at its best ability.
As someone who the little dragon considered as its guardian. It was obedient and loyal to Drake.
…
At the moment.
Drake's biggest desire was to reunite with his sister. He just wants for these zombies in front of his eyes to die already so he can meet up with her.
Betelgeuse, who is like a magic genie of Drake, responds to his desire.
It didn't take as long as ten minutes, more than enough for the little dragon to wipe out the horde of zombies numbering to two hundred.
Drake, who was like Aladdin at these moments getting his wishes fulfilled, was gobsmacked at the little Dragon's show off of its power.
Drake knew that dragons were mythical creatures and is powerful even at its infant stage, but he didn't know at what scale.
Now he knew a little about why Dragons were one of the top predators.
With this little dragon by his side, he and his sister were pretty much safe at this early stage.
Drake looks at the little dragon approvingly.
It flew over to him after finishing the last zombie that left standing.
"Good job! You were such a nice little dragon. This brother here will feed you later with lots of chocolate after we finish here, okay?"
He hugs it and rubs it's tiny bumps where it's horn was about to grow.
After hugging the little dragon to his satisfaction, he let it go, making the little dragon whine reluctantly.
The duo was about to head on the 7th floor again where he would meet his older sister there. But he stopped right on his track.
He looked at the little dragon hovering on his side. And Drake asked if it could hide away from the prying eyes of the people upstairs.
The little dragon didn't understand why Drake would want it to hide, but it nonetheless complied and merge on the space as it magically disappeared without a trace.
Drake knew that it's just one of its ability to control space so he was only surprised a little.
…
Arriving at the 7th floor, Drake's eyes only saw his sister, completely ignoring the rest of the group.
He heave a sigh of relief.
When Drake's arrive, the group who was vigilant, instantly spotted him.
It was the same for his sister.
When their eyes met, his older sister broke down to tears blurring her sight.
She let go of the wooden pole she was holding as she runs toward where Drake is with all her might.
Arriving in front of her little brother, Jessica dive into her brother's chest embracing him tightly.
She felt at peace on his warm chest, sobbing silently all the grievance she felt.
